Re: 1970 c10 paint code 501

Of course it's up to you, but a 70 k10 swb w/one year only paint - I'd restore it to bone stock personally, regardless of trim level. I understand the attraction of a higher trim level truck, I have a 72 super myself, but there's something nice about a bone stock base model, especially in the old 4x4s. Real nice truck, I think you'd be very happy with it as a Custom trim level truck. For me, since I've tended to bounce around from hot to scorcher climate zones, I kinda like the idea of a Custom Deluxe cloth seat cover, even in a base model, to avoid frying my legs - and to avoid looking like the "everybody's got one" houndstooth seat cover (no offense to anyone that has one, I have one too ) - but nowadays it's a very common upgrade to throw the "custom cloth" seat in place of the Custom and Cheyenne/CST-level vinyls and even in the place of the 1-step up from bottom Custom Deluxe cloth seat. I think the Custom Deluxe "Cloth Seat" is one of the best looking covers out there. Anyway, you get the idea. 1 vote for stock resto from the cheap seats.
